Fantastic experience: My family and I were so lucky to work with Eric on purchasing the land for our vacation home. Incredible professional, very responsive and has great knowledge of the area. I would highly recommend Eric and his team. True Professionals and easy to work with. We want to Thank Eric and his team for making this transaction so easy and comfortable for us from start to finish.
Fantastic experience: We used Bear Mt. RE for a purchase of a property in Jim Thorpe last year. Ron did a great job representing both buyer and seller to get us to the settlement table. I will use them again and highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: We had such a great experience working with Matt from Bear Mountain Real Estate. From start to finish, Matt was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly went above and beyond for us. Selling a home can be stressful, especially when you don’t live right close by, but Matt made the entire process so much easier. He kept us informed, was always available to answer our questions, and worked hard to get our house sold. We really appreciated his honesty, communication, and dedication throughout the entire process. We would absolutely recommend Matt and Bear Mountain Real Estate to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received and plan on using him again in the future!
Fantastic experience: Was first recommended to bear mountain by a friend and was recommended Keri Gallagher. From start to finish Keri was amazing!! She was super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable at helping buy out first home I can’t thank Keri and Bear Mountain enough and I highly recommend them to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Eric Johnston helped me with a land purchase in the Poconos, he was hands down the best realtor I had the pleasure of working with. Knowledgeable, responsive, and professional are exactly how I would describe my work with him. If I need anymore property in the area, I will be working with him again in the future.
Negative experience: Lousy realty agency.
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Matt Dunbar and the team at Bear Mountain Real Estate enough for their knowledge and help through a difficult estate sale of a relative's home. From the moment I contacted Matt to list the home, I immediately knew he was the right person to help me. Very responsive, knowledgeable about the market, and patiently walked me through every step of the selling process bringing the sale to a very smooth completion. Matt made a difficult situation for me and my family much easier than I expected and I highly recommend Matt and the Bear Mountain Real Estate team.
Fantastic experience: Matt was a great agent. He helped us find our dream vacation home and gave us great advice through every step. Hands down best agent we've had. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Bear Mountain was lovely to work with, and Eric helped source and close on the perfect home for my wife and I in no time! Couldn't be happier with their service ☺️
Fantastic experience: Matt Dunbar and his team went above and beyond in helping me sell my Poconos home. They understand the market in the area very well, listened to my goals and found me the exact buyer, price and situation I was looking for. It was the best real estate experience in my life (I've bought and sold 8 times). Highly recommend!!!
Fantastic experience: Eric was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the process. He was extremely knowledgeable, quick to respond, and always took the time to explain things clearly. His professionalism and attention to detail made the entire experience very smooth. Eric was a huge help from start to finish, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive realtor.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Eric Johnston just last month to help a first-time home buyer purchase a home. Eric handled every aspect of the real estate side professionally, courteously, and very responsively. A government shutdown put a kink in our closing process but Eric's constant communication with all parties helped us stay on track and get our buyer into their first home! I would recommend Eric to anyone who needs a professional local real estate agent.
Fantastic experience: My wife & I were looking to buy our first home & with everything that goes into this, it can be overwhelming. Our Realitor Mike Mulderig guided us through the whole process, answered anytime we called, & made it as painless as possible. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to buy. He helped us find the perfect home & we are 100% satisfied. Thank you Mike!
Fantastic experience: VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Matt Dunbar and Bear Realty for any, and all of your real estate needs. Matt’s expertise, professionalism, communication, and negotiating skills are top notch. His commitment to selling my grandmother’s estate was instrumental in finding the right buyer, and I can’t speak highly enough of Matt’s ability to articulate the details and nuances at every stage of the process, from listing to sale. Matt is direct when communicating details, and giving valuable experienced insight…no fluff, no nonsense, all clarity. Thanks Matt!
Fantastic experience: Matt was a pleasure to work with. Friendly and up front about what he thinks of the property, area, etc.
Fantastic experience: Matt is fair, direct and energetic, all you want from a realtor,
Fantastic experience: Matt at Bear Mountain Realty did a good job of frequently showing our house for sale in the Pocono Mountains, Towamensing Trails. Our house was for sale for ~2 months & over that time we had many weekly showings, & thankfully Matt & his colleagues got us a fair price offer & we successfully closed sale today! Matt was very responsive to our requests; we highly recommend hiring Bear Mountain team.
Fantastic experience: Matt is a pleasure to work with. He’s extremely professional, a great communicator, and detailed oriented. It was a great experience selling my home. He made the whole process quick and easy and made some great recommendations. Matt found us the perfect fit for our property and that truly mattered to us. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Let me start by saying, I’ve never been really into “buyers agents”. But not this time. We connected with Matt simply because he was the listing agent on one of the many houses we were considering. The area we wanted was about 2 hours from our old house. That meant we couldn’t just pop up here at any time. I honestly needed a true agent to represent me, my family, and our needs. Not only does Matt share my appreciation of a good beard, he knows these towns inside and out. Matt and the team (Mike, Tara, Jean) jumped in exactly when they were needed to keep things moving, confirm or update information, verify things with the property. It made me and my family extremely comfortable and at ease about the entire purchase process. They aren’t ‘aggressive’, but certainly knew when to put some pressure on people, and even when to calm things down and talk through difficult stuff to get to a conclusion. I would get calls and updates on things I never even thought to ask about, and Matt always jumped in to keep us going and make it over bumps along the way. We have no doubt that our purchase would not have gone as smoothly and on track without the help of Matt and Bear Mountain. While buying a house is always stressful, Matt and team really took care of that difficult stuff and we were able to focus more time on the fun and happy parts of starting in a new home. Thank you Matt and Mike and Bear Mountain.
Fantastic experience: Just had the pleasure of working with Matt to sell our Pocono home. Matt was professional, detail oriented and attentive. Overall, a great stress free experience!
Fantastic experience: We had a vision in the type of home we wanted. We didn't want to settle for any home. Matt patiently worked with us until we found the house we loved. He not only was patient but guided us on inspections, processes and kept us informed on all things. From showings to settlement all things were smooth! I highly recommend Matt and his office.
Fantastic experience: Working with Matt made our home buying experience in Jim Thorpe incredibly smooth and stress-free. His knowledge of the local market and negotiation skills were invaluable, and his clear communication kept us informed every step of the way. We are grateful for our experience and would highly recommend Matt and Bear Mountain Real Estate!
Fantastic experience: We had an outstanding experience working with Matthew Dunbar to sell our vacation home. His expertise, professionalism, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From pricing it right to negotiating the best deal, they went above and beyond to ensure a quick and successful sale. Communication was always clear, and their market knowledge was truly impressive. We highly recommend Matt and his team to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate group!
Fantastic experience: HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with Bear Mountain Real Estate for all of your real estate needs. I recently purchased a vacation home with Matt and Brandon Dunbar and it was a seamless process from start to finish. They’re very personable, knowledgable, and communicated well throughout the sale. Thank you for making this such a great experience!
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Bear Mountain Real Estate was great to work with and our realtor Matt Dunbar did an excellent job helping us sell our house. I especially want to call out his negotiating skills. By following Matt's advice we ended our negotiations with the buyer at a sales price a couple of thousand dollars higher than I would have settled for. I cannot recommend him enough.
Fantastic experience: Loved working with Ron, Matt, and Brandon! Highly recommend! We had great experience!
Fantastic experience: My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience working with Mike Mulderig! He was knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process of us buying our first home! Mike was determined to find us the perfect house that best suits us. 10/10 recommend Mike as he genuinely cares about fulfilling the buyers wants/needs!
Fantastic experience: Matt and his dad Ron were so awesome to work with. Thet had extensive expertise and knowledge of the Jim Thorpe area and surrounding communities. They made our vacation home a reality and they made it a seamless process. Thanks Matt and Ron!
Fantastic experience: We have bought and sold several properties, the level of service was without compare, the level of competent service made us glad we did not try to list on our own. Thank you Ron and Mathew.
Fantastic experience: Working with Matt when selling my house was a stress free experience. It took 35 days from the day Matt listed the house until closing. I give Matt and his team all the credit for such and easy selling process. Thank you Matt!!!
Fantastic experience: We had a truly wonderful experience working with Matt Dunbar and his father Ron. We are from the NYC/New Jersey area, and we didn't have extensive knowledge of the Poconos region. Matt guided us from A to Z - which areas are more preferable and why, what to watch out for, the ins and outs of each neighborhood, and every other detail you can possibly imagine. He was very organized throughout the process and super diligent in communicating with the contractor to get all of our questions answered. We appreciated his honesty and expertise, and we felt comfortable putting our trust in him from the very beginning. I highly recommend working with Matt Dunbar - I could not have asked for a better agent. Thank you so much!!
Fantastic experience: Matt Dunbar and Bear Mountain Real Estate made our experience with purchasing our second home seamless and even enjoyable! Matt’s personable and easy going attitude made him so nice to work with. He communicated with us often and was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Matt had immense knowledge on every area we were interested in and always had our best interest at hand. As a family with young children and crazy schedules, he was also very patient with us when we weren’t quick (at all) to answer some emails or texts! We are very family oriented type of people and also loved that Bear Mountain Real Estate is a family business. The Dunbar’s are so welcoming and sweet that my kids even enjoyed going to their office and chatting with everyone! It was overall just an exceptional experience with Matt and the Bear Mountain Real Estate team. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase in the area, I know I’m already spreading the word here in NJ :)
Fantastic experience: 100% yes. I had gone through multiple realtors who just didn’t seem like they cared until I found this majestic angel of a man called Eric. He was and is everything you expect a realtor to be attentive informative and actually gave a damn about getting me into a house that I wanted. I can’t express the gratitude I have for Bear Mountain Real Estate and especially Eric. If you are on the fence about what company/realtor etc then look no further 100% you will not regret this life changing decision.
Fantastic experience: Matt Dunbar and the rest of the team are the best! He was recommended to us by a family member who had worked with him on previous house closings. We contacted Matt and worked closely with him on selling my father’s home as part of an estate sale and found the entire process went as smooth as we could have ever hoped. We found Matt’s experience and knowledge of the local real estate market was spot-on and he appropriately priced my father’s home and sold it within a week. We actually live in North Carolina so working with Matt from a distance, we also found him to be very responsive with respect to our phone calls and emails, always being able to answer our questions. We would highly recommend Bear Mountain Real Estate to anyone looking to sell a home.
Fantastic experience: Matt's knowledge of the local real estate market was truly exceptional. He listened carefully to my preferences and never wasted my time showing me properties that didn't fit my criteria. Instead, he worked tirelessly to curate a list of homes that were not only within my budget but also aligned perfectly with my vision.
Fantastic experience: Matt and team did a great job of helping to sell my house. Prefessional and responded quickly to questions. I would give them six stars if I could!
Fantastic experience: Great staff very helpful
Fantastic experience: My wife and I were looking for a home in the Poconos and found one on Zillow. We made an inquiry through them and were contacted by Keri Gallagher from Bear Mountain Realty. From the moment we met her she had us covered. Any time we had a question or concern she was just a text away, morning, noon or night. All of the way through to the closing and beyond she is professional and personable. We can't say enough about her care and dedication to our needs. We highly recommend fo any of your real estate needs.
Fantastic experience: I reached out to Matt to help me take care of something for my elderly father. Matt was exceptionally responsive and extremely helpful. I would absolutely reach out to Matt for any needs in the future. He is very professional and willing to help with whatever I needed. Thank you Matt for making something difficult very easy.
Fantastic experience: Great service
Fantastic experience: Good people
Fantastic experience: In the crazy real estate market of 2021 when homes were on the market for what seemed like hours vs. weeks/months, Matt and his Dad, Ron, helped us find our dream vacation home. They were patient, supportive, knowledgeable, and available for whatever we needed through the entire process. They not only found us a house, but they helped us find an amazing mortgage company, a landscaper, great restaurants in the area and pretty much everything else we needed. I really can’t recommend them enough!!!
Fantastic experience: Saw what I needed to on their website. Didnt see alot more than that
Negative experience: Unprofessional, .......and lazy .
Fantastic experience: Matt was a pleasure to work with. He made what was a very difficult decision so much easier. He was patient, understanding, did not give up on me. He customized a plan of action that worked for me. His professionalism , knowledge , and desire to meet my needs was outstanding. If anyone is on the fence about wanting to buy or sell a home, he is the guy to talk to. His honesty, experience, and expertise matches the qualities needed in the real estate market. He got me top dollar for my home and help make the transition of purchasing a new home as painless as possible while dealing with some challenging events. Thanks for sticking it out with me Matt. I thank you, Tom thinks you and my family thinks you.
Fantastic experience: Professional, responsive and knowledgeable, Matt was an incredible resource to us when selling our home in the Poconos. As we do not live in the area, Matt went above and beyond to make sure that everything was taken care of all the way through to the Closing. The Bear Mountain team behind him provided seamless support whenever needed. In a world where online marketing is essential, the quality provided by Bear Mountain stands out well beyond their competition. Simply put, if you're selling or buying a home in the Poconos, Bear Mountain is the company to use!
Fantastic experience: Matt listed our mountain home for sale. He and members of the team, were courteous, professional, knowledgeable and very helpful. Home sold quickly and we were pleased with the outcome. Would highly recommend Bear Mountain and their team members.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful, easy to do business with. Answered all our questions
Fantastic experience: Matt and his team are the absolute best! Highly recommended if you are a first time buyer or seller, they will break down all your options and support you each step of the way. Professional and experienced!
Fantastic experience: Class Act Business. No matter if you're working with Matt, Ron or Brandon, all three pitch in to make sure the clients and their schedule comes first. Matt was extremely responsive, professional and knew the area very well. Don't waste your time like we did with other agents, just start with Matt from the start and you will be extremely happy.
Fantastic experience: We recently worked with Matthew Dunbar to purchase a home in the Poconos area. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to do the same. He was very timely and professional and had great recommendations on various vendors that all worked out perfectly (GC, inspector, title company, etc.). He also had great knowledge of all of the various lake communities across the area.
Negative experience: Worst ever!! All they are concerned about is how fast they can sell your home. They never try and get the best offer for your home, they just want to say how fast they sold your home. All they talk about is the square footage of your home and not what your home offers. I had the buyer's adjuster tell me that I was giving my home away at the price my realtor was listing my home for. Worst decision I ever made going with Bear Mountain!!! Worst ever!!!
Fantastic experience: Matt represented me as my agent in my new cabin. He was incredibly professional and knowledgeable about the local communities, as well as the real estate process in the Poconos. He was an excellent negotiator through a trying process with the sellers. In the end, I felt like our negotiations were worth the effort. I felt excellently advised throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Matt Dunbar and Bear Mountain Real Estate. They are highly professional & very knowledgeable locals.
Fantastic experience: I have listed serval properties with Bear Mountain Real Estate. I value the experience and knowledge this team of professionals offer. Matt has has an eye for what buyers are looking for and Ron bring his years of experience to help get properties sold. Their office is conveniently located in the heart of Penn Forest right off Rt 903 near the new Turnpike exit. I have new projects coming up for 2020 and look forward to listing them with this team of Realtors.
Fantastic experience: Brandon and Matt Dunbar are amazing! Incredibly patient, helpful and willing to go above and beyond for their customers. I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I just purchased my first vacation property from Ron and hands down it was the best experience ! He was honest and upfront with us from the beginning. He didn’t try to sell us any property just to make money. He took his time with us and continued to show us multiple homes until we found the perfect one. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. We highly recommend Bear Mountain Real Estate to everyone we know !! Thanks again Ron we Love our home.
Fantastic experience: Marion is amazing!! She helped us with 2 homes we bought in the last 3 years and helped 2 of my friends find homes as well. She was so patient, and Very helpful we had so many questions with the area, she would always respond to my texts, phone calls. So if your looking to buy or sell your home Definitely give Marion a call.
Negative experience: never again , all they care about is the commission
Fantastic experience: We just purchased our home away from home with Bear Mountain Real Estate. From the minute we walked in the door we were treated with respect and they listened to what we were looking for and made the process very simple. Being that we were not local it was so helpful that Matt and team were always available whether it be by phone, text or email to help us with all of our questions. They also introduced us to contractors and financing options to help meet our objectives. . We highly recommend them! John and Dixie Warker
Fantastic experience: Matt Dunbar Top notch ! Answered every call/text promptly.. the office staff treat you like family and explain everything throughly .. I recommend this agency and their very personal service they provide!
Fantastic experience: I have bought and sold a house with Matt Dunbar and both times were very good experiences. Matt was always available for my calls & concerns. All of the Bear Mountain Real Estate office staff helped make the sales easier. I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Bear Mountain has been such a positive experience! My wife and myself recently purchased land in a nearby community. Matt Dunbar and his team were amazing to work with! Moreover, we are currently selling our house. Although this can sometimes be overwhelming and stressful, Bear Mountain has helped make this a smooth journey! Five stars way you from our family!
Negative experience: They are not on your side. They don't respond to emails or texts for quite some time, quite often don't return the calls. They don't do much for you at all. All they care about is getting their commission the easiest and fastest way possible. Stay away.
Fantastic experience: I have worked with Matthew Dunbar for many years. He sold our house within a few months of being on the market for thousands more than another real estate agent in the area wanted to list it at. He really knows the market and always gives us great advice. When we missed the area, we knew exactly who to call to start the hunt for a new home. Matt worked endlessly to make sure we got into a home just right for us. He met with us for many house showings until we found the perfect home. I was a little obsessed with the home search, but he was always professional, caring and helpful! He helped orchestrate everything from the inspections, to repairs and closing. Even after closing, he continues to be amazing with his referrals to local carpenters and businesses that I can trust. Also, he works closely with his dad, Ron Dunbar, who would also be available to help us if needed. Honestly...I can't say enough about Matt Dunbar and Bear Mountain Really!
Fantastic experience: I have used Bear Mountain Real Estate for my last three real estate transactions and all of been flawless. They treat you like family and nothing is too much trouble.
